This is a Wikipedia template. “Sfn” calls the template in the code; the author’s last name follows the first pipe (this must correspond with the name that follows <code><nowiki>|last=</nowiki></code> in the detailed citation in your works cited list); the year of the publication follows the next (exactly the same as <code><nowiki>|date=</nowiki></code> in the citation); and the page number(s) are put last. This will insert a footnote in the text; when a user clicks it, she is taken to the citation and if she clicks the citation, she is taken to the longer works cited entry. Notice its placement in the text: right up against the period with no space in between. Footnote indications should always come after punctuation; never before. Try it on the example article I linked above. Simple and elegant.

Rendered on the page, it will look like:
 
: . . . first published in ''New Short Novels 2'', 1956.{{sfn|Lennon|2018|p=25}}
 
Notice its placement of the footnote code: '''right up against the period with no space in between'''. Footnote indications should always come ''after'' punctuation; never before. Try it on the example article I linked above. Simple and elegant.
